this hatch im purposefully running low at 98.5. I heard that if the temp is on the low side rather than high, it will cause a high female to male ratio.

Oh interesting, I haven’t heard that. Just beware they will hatch late if incubated at low temperatures.

I will keep that in mind

today is day 3, the temperature was 99.0 in a still air incubator. I turned it up a small bit

I have 8 coturnix quail eggs in my incubator. I’m waiting for my quail to lay more eggs.

That's interesting, I've never heard that about birds, only reptiles.

im not 100% sure if it is actually true, but I thought it would be worth a try.
